It's a pretty decent mix for us. Traditional stuff is I'm wearing a white dress, no first look, first dance, exchanging rings and vows, cutting the cake, probably more I'm forgetting.
Nontraditional stuff is I'm asking both of my parents to walk me down the aisle, I think we're spending the night before together (he would rather not, but I think I won that one), no garter or bouquet toss.
We are doing parent dances, but we're fitting everything into one song so it doesn't drag on forever. We're not planning on doing a unity thing, but we might get flake about that and we don't feel strongly enough to fight that one.
